Disney+ launched in late 2019 and has spent the past couple of years competing with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and several other streaming services. 

What devices support Disney Plus? 
Disney has wide device support, streaming to phones, tablets, computers, connected TVs and streaming media boxes. The company has global distribution agreements in place with Apple, Google, Microsoft, Roku, Sony, Amazon, Samsung and LG. That encompasses the makers of:

Roku’s boxes, sticks and TVs
Apple TV, iPhone and iPad
Phones and TVs running on Android operating systems, as well as Chromecast streamers
Xbox One
PlayStation 4
Amazon Fire TV devices.
Samsung smart TVs
LG smart TVs
Vizio Smartcast TV models
Comcast X1 set-top boxes and Flex platforms.

Although Disney+ is available on all kinds of devices, it only allows you to download content on Apple iPhones and iPads, Android phones and tablets and Amazon Fire tablet to watch offline. On other devices, you need a stable internet connection to stream Disney+ content. However, with the right tool you can download Disney+ movies and TV shows to MKV and play them offline anywhere you want. 

What is MKV?

MKV stands for “Matroska Video”. Matroska is a container file format, capable of holding an unlimited number of video, audio and subtitle tracks, as well as any metadata. In practice, this means that it is possible to put an entire movie with multiple sound and subtitle tracks, chapter information and movie thumbnails into a single file. Your best bet for playing most MKV files is to use VLC.
